Using balsa wood I created a back, base and wave break. I cut down some lengths of balsa wood, hacked at them until they looked worn, stained them then aged them using fag ash.
The base and back I covered in pulped handmade blue paper.
For the sky the paper was a darker blue. I used cotton wool for the clouds before matt varnishing the pair.
After attaching them together I added the wave break. Once dry I crushed a shell and mixed it with pva glue to create barnacles as I couldn't find any small enough on the beach.
I also collected some dried beach moss witch I incorporated into select bits of my posts.
For the sea I am using cling film and pva glue. I still have another layer of cling film to put on but I am waiting for the other layers to dry. I am also going to add a seagull to a post and a little edging to keep it all neat.
